About
Hurricane Landing Day Use Area sits on the southern shore of Sardis Lake in the rolling hills of north Mississippi. This Corps of Engineers recreation area provides excellent access to Sardis Lake, which consistently ranks as one of the top crappie fishing destinations in the country. Anglers also pursue catfish and bass in these waters.
The area is characterized by beautiful Osage Orange (Bodock) trees that add unique character to the landscape. A pavilion is available for reservation through Recreation.gov for group gatherings.
